Bjørn Pettersen (1953–2014) was a man from Northern Norway who lived in asceticism under a tarp beside the University of Oslo's campus from 1978 to 2006. Known as 'the caveman of Blindern' or 'the troll of Blindern', he was also recognized among students as 'the Sideways Man' due to his unique sideways walking style. Pettersen's life led to several legal questions, resulting in three cases being brought before the Supreme Court of Norway, including the 'Caveman ruling' in 1988 and the 'Wound Care ruling' in 2010.
